IMPROVEMENT IN SASH-BALANCES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent ,No. 202,324, dated April16, 1878; application file January 21, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILsoN K. AZBILL, of Columbia, in the county ofAdair and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Han gin g Window-Sash, which improvement is fully set forth in thefollowing specification, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation, showing my improvedsash-balance Fig. 2, a vertical section thereof, and Fig. 3 a face viewof the cord-clamp or compressor.

The object of my invention is an improvement in the clamp or cord-holderfor attaching a cord to the lower sash of a window whose sash arebalanced against each other by the combination of a cord, clamp, andpulley.

The combination, which, 1 am aware, is not broadly new, consists mainlyof a plate, A, for attaching the cord B to the upper section of thesash, a pulley, O, to facilitate the movement of the cord, and apeculiar cord-holder, D, for attaching the cord to the lower section ofthe sash in such manner as to enable the operator to slide the cord orfix it at any given point thereon, as hereinafter described and claimed.

The plate D has a vertical hole, through which the cord B passes downfrom the pulley O in a right line, without passing through, or

said plate opposite to the protuberance, and

acting against the same to compress the cord. Having thus described myinvention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is

In a sash-balance, the clamp or cord holder D formed from a perforatedplate attached to the surface of the meeting-rail, and having theset-screw E acting upon the detached follower F as a cord-compressor, incombination with the plate A, cord B, and pulley 0, all constructed,arranged, and operating substantially as described and shown, for thepurposes set forth.
